Flower Pounding Workshop #2

Flower Pounding Workshop #2

Experience the beauty of botanical dye-making with artist Winna Bernard in this hands-on workshop exploring the art of flower pounding. Using petals, stems, and leaves collected from the gardens at the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization, participants will gently hammer natural pigments into cotton fabric, creating vibrant, one-of-a-kind textile prints.

The workshop begins with a demonstration of natural dye techniques, followed by a short guided walk through MWMO’s native plant gardens to learn how deep roots, clean water, and pollinators all play a role in this living landscape. Along the way, you’ll gather flowers to use in your own piece.

Back at the workshop tables, you’re invited to create, freely—moving between your personal project and a collaborative community table runner that will be unveiled at our fall gathering. No prior experience is needed. All materials provided.
